DIY Wrist Bling

June 19th, 2008 @ 1:39 pm by Mrs. Plumeria

My wedding bracelet was an early DIY project that I didn’t actually make specifically to wear on the big day. I just happened to have a bunch of leftover beads and decided to do something with them, and the resulting piece of jewelry was too sparkly to use for any sort of everyday occasion. It so happened that it ended up matching my dress perfectly, so I went ahead and used it…

Something Lost

June 12th, 2008 @ 9:28 am by Miss Tiramisu

Something blue. Check. Shoes and garter.

Something old. Check. My Nana is graciously letting me take a piece of lace off of her wedding gown to wrap around my bouquet.

Something new. Check. Take your pick… dress, bracelet, veil, shoes…

Something borrowed. Check. Make that something lost! My friend L. called me this week to tell me that the perfect and beautiful chandelier earrings that she wore on her wedding day- and generously offered to let me wear on mine- have gone missing! Somewhere in Pennsylvania is a box with her wedding shoes, headpiece, and earrings, and no one can locate it.

Sniff, sniff… here they are:

The wedding will be an opportunity for most of our family and friends to see our new city for the first time so it will be both a wedding and a reunion. Besides my future wife, I am also madly in love with a good bargain, Swedish pastries, Tivo, and my two dogs and calico cat (in no particular order).

Is Less More?

June 9th, 2008 @ 2:48 pm by Miss Gingerbread

In addition to scoring the shirts, shoes and ties for Miss GB 2.0 on our trip to Socal for our shower, I also found my wedding jewelry. Actually, I should say it was Miss GB 2.0 who found it. I’d been to several department stores without her and had no luck. Then when we were together in Nordstrom Rack, Miss GB 2.0 spotted these babies.

Pretty Shiny Things

May 17th, 2008 @ 4:29 pm by Mrs. Hummingbird

From the beginning, I knew I wanted a special necklace to go with my dress. For months I’d looked at pieces at boutiques and bridal shows, but somehow everything seemed way too “blingy” for our afternoon garden wedding.

So, like any logical bride, I turned to the no fail place for jewelery - Etsy. With over 100,000 sellers, if you can’t find it there, it doesn’t exist.

My criteria was simple:
1) It had to be silver.
2) It had to have a splash of colour.
3) It had to have a kind of nature/botanical look to it.

I was hunting on everybody’s favourite craft site for maybe a day when I stumbled across Meg Leigh’s shop and was sold. Simple and beautifully designed pieces, they were exactly what I was looking for . . . which actually made it really hard for me to decide what to order. So many awesome choices!

I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.

To help satisfy the age old ”Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue” tradition, I visited my grandmother, who has an extensive jewelry collection, to see what I could “borrow.” During our search, we found these beautiful old earrings.

Something Old and Blue

May 14th, 2008 @ 11:25 am by Miss Gingerbread

On Monday I posted about someone else’s grandparents and on Tuesday I posted about mine, but wait, there’s more. My grandparent-themed posts aren’t over yet.

One of my favourite pieces of jewelery is an aquamarine ring from my Swedish grandmother on my father’s side. I only met my farmor (that’s “father’s mother” in Swedish) a few times and I was too young to remember her. From what my mom tells me, she gave me a toy truck once. Then when she died many years ago, she left me a few pieces of jewelery in her will.

Aquamarine is my birthstone. It’s definitely something old and something blue. Maybe I’ll wear this for my wedding.

After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.

Accessorize Me, Part Two

May 13th, 2008 @ 12:45 pm by Miss Cupcake

Last weekend when Mr. Cupcake and I were visiting Bro & SIL Cupcake, we found ties for the guys and earrings for me at the mother of all Macy’s. The day after we returned from our New York visit, I had an appointment to try on my recently-arrived veil with my dress at The Wedding Touch, so it was the perfect opportunity to try the earrings on with the whole ensemble. I apologize that I don’t have any photos of me with the earrings on, but needless to say, they just didn’t do it for me. I’m trying to go for more of a relaxed look and the earrings just looked too…. structured, or something.

As always, my style-hero SIL Cupcake came to the rescue. Once she sent me the link to Lunessa.com, I fell in love with these stunning earrings:
